As a kid growing up in Minnesota I always dreamed about moving to the beautifully wild Canada lands to the North in Ontario. Fishing, hunting and roaming free. When I soon learned your country is indirectly run by the british government and their extension of anti-guns laws covered the great land of Canada I dropped my head in despair. Whats wrong with your people? You have 1/10th the population of the US yet so anti-freedom in gun ownership? Did something happen?

there is nothing wrong with us. You can still go fishing, hunting and roaming free.

I should have specified you cant have handguns or at best they are very restricted. I would have never guessed Canada isnt influenced by England given your government is very much similar and the Queen of England covers your money. Lota folks no longer visit Canada to hunt or fish due to restrictions. Just our potheads & perverts go to BC Canada to vacation. I just wish your country had the liberties the US enjoys. I'd be in Canada in a heartbeat. Love the wilds there. I suppose Alaska will do for now.

Actually after hanging around ar15.com for the last 11 years or so..I've discovered that there are States that have more draconian gun laws then we do. And we will never be as f**ked as Britain is...

The Queen of England does not 'cover' our money. Our notes are printed by the Bank of Canada and our monetary policy falls under their purview as well. In fact, Canada's monetary policy is generally viewed as the strongest in the world (which is why we didn't feel quite the effects of the sub-prime mortgage crisis).

Seriously, Canada is lacking in a lot of fundamental freedoms. But its not because our of non-existent connection to Britain...its because of the liberal fear mongering. In reality, the US shares the same problems (Barbara Boxer, Hilliary Clinton, etc)

Remember, when it comes to guns, we're all in this together (which is part of the reason why I'm a member of the NRA)
